maintenance

I will be attempting to do my first slide maintenance on my 2014 Georgetown 351DS this weekend and scoured this site as well as asking Kevin at FR. I never received an owner's/maintenance manual and still have a few questions. How do I access the slide tracks/gear mechanism to apply the...

Thinking of buying a Forester, or FR3. What are you folks spending for maintenance on a monthly or yearly basis? My thoughts are that I would drive it 4000-5000 miles a year or more.

Got the camper de winterized this weekend and set upped and aired out. Aired up the tires, and cleaned up. What type of maintenance needs to be done to the lift system on these pop ups? It has the power lift system. That was the only thing that I didn't do because I wasn't sure what to do...

Ok so not new to camping but new to 2015 Roo. Is there anything besides blowing the lines, adding antifreeze before winter and draining Hot water heater you have to do on a yearly maintenance? Do you have to do anything with the furnace, fridge or AC? I bought a grease gun for the wheel...

Is there anyone out there that has resealed their fiberglass roof as a maintenance thing? I had mine washed and then I went up to wax the AC units and the vent domes. I didn't see any damage but I wondered if it need to be done.

Hello, Purchased our very first RV a few days ago, now I am attempting to prepare for our first trip. After reading several postings, I think that I have discovered several items that may save me from trouble. I am still trying to understand the water system for the hot...

We bought a Mini lite 2109 late last summer and now have approximately 8000 miles on it. Manual calls for repacking every 12,000 or one year. Can I get away with waiting until the end of the year for this?

Time to start thinking about camping in a few weeks here in Ohio. Was trying to get my thoughts together on what needs to be done as far as maintenance on our TT. It would be nice if some of you long time campers could share with us novices some things you do in the spring before you hit the...

Today, armed with tie wraps, T-9, lubriplate, liquid electrical tape,di-electric grease,wire harness loom,and some hose I attacked the under carriage of my brand new camper. (Cherokee 274RKS). I spent 9 hours, tie wrapping harness's up and out of the way. putting wire loom protector on any and...

This is the first trailer I have owned with slide outs. After reading the new CW catalog front to back, I noticed there are lubricant sprays for on the seals and gears of the slides. Is this something I should use? How often? Is one brand better then another? Thanks, Sue

With winter hopefully leaving soon, my thoughts are starting to wander to camping season.. What is a decent product to use on the slide seals to keep them soft and pliable? Is there anything on the gear drive that one needs to do? I picked up a spray last summer from a trailer shop that they...

Kia ora (Hello) from a kiwi in NZ. I am a newbie to these forums , this is my first post so my apologies if this is posted in the wrong place. My wife and I have purchased a new 2015 Flagstaff 228D pup. We spend most of our camping at the seaside and it is similar to what you call boondocking...

I have been accomplishing the preventative maintenance on my 2013 Sanibel 3500 and have a question as to what others are doing for preventative maintenance on the furnace. I vacuum all ducts as far as I can access with a vacuum cleaner. I pulled the wall in the storage compartment and cleaned...

What's on your list ? Check and seal roof seems, grease sildeout gears, spray silicone lubricant on slide seals, change oil in generator and check air filter, change water filter....

I've had the SV235RKS for a couple years now and a couple times a year I'll lubricate the slide track and rubber seals on the outside but I've never done anything with the ceiling tracks & rollers on the inside. Does anyone with a SV235RKS do any preventative maintenance on the ceiling tracks...

I'm sitting at Discount Tire and I just dropped a grand on a set of tires for the DW's and I'm not happy. I dropped a grand in here about two years ago and my failure to rotate them on schedule brought about their early demise. Between my two kids, wife and my two vehicles I'm having a hard time...

Newbie ready for winter and no more travels for a while. Had the dealer winterize and was wondering what other maintenance I should be doing. Read posts about running the generator every so often, but any other advice you could give to keep her ready for spring would be great! Thanks for your help.

Does everyone remove the battery from your travel trailer when laying up for the winter? We live in Southern Ontario and can have spells of well below freezing at times. Our trailer sits outdoors in our driveway. I am thinking if I watch the battery monitor and plug the trailer in when it...

Do the slideout tracks need occasional lubrication? What about the seals - do they need Armor All treatment?

After 4 years of use I decided to inspect the roof after reading many threads about people getting major water damage to RV. I cleaned all dicor with mineral spirits and then applied a new layer of dicor. May be overkill but I'd rather do this than have water damage that could cost $$$$$...

I'm new to Rockwood, but have had 5th wheels since 2005 but this one has me scratching my head. Stickers on the side of my 2015 Rockwood 2604WS caution that the slide seals must be maintained every 90 days per instructions in the owners manual. I've read every piece of paper supplied with the...

I just finished my first year of RVing and I have questions on roof maintenance. I have a 2014 class C sunseeker, fiberglass roof. Concerning caulking if there is no visible deterioration in caulking around AC, vents, etc. is it common practice to put another layer of caulk around the openings...

I recently had my scheduled oil change maintenance done by a non-MB dealership (GM where my good friend is the service manager), but they didn't know how to reset the service reminder interval. On start-up, I continued to get a wrench symbol followed by the number of days until service due (I...

I have a 2010 Sabre 31REDS and want to repack the bearings. It has the LCI SBS hubs. What are my options? I read in another section they are not serviceable ... Is this the case. If so, was Lippert thinking! Thanks. Sent from my iPad using Forest River Forums

I just purchased a 1999 Thor Tahoe Light (22CBTT) and the entire water system was disassembled due to a water leak. I'm trying to put it back together but can't seem to find a diagram showing how the water system should be connected. Does anyone know where I can find this diagram?
